Just to butt in here - I notice the bill "also calls for more instruction in flag etiquette".

If you ever have to hang/design a Union Flag for gawd's sake make sure it's the correct way up. I have seen it hung upside-down many times, often in places that should know better. A couple of times I've seen it printed in newspapers and printed on vehicles and hoardings.

The key point to remember is that the St.Patrick's cross (in red) is rotated counter-clockwise, leaving a wide band on the top edge. When you know this it is very obvious when you see one upside-down.
